Vexel is a neologism for an entirely pixel-based form of raster art that imitates the vector graphics technique, but is distinguished from normal vector graphics or raster images. The word itself is a portmanteau derived from a combination of “vector” and “pixel.” It is an entirely pixel-based raster image that imitates the vector graphics style.
